she still kept on her way and next struck
the steamship Allegheny, OF the Mer-
chants and Miners line, thirty feet (which
yes ,el projected beyond the slip where she
was anchored This collision brought the
Old Point Comfort to a stand5till end stop
ped her mad career for the time being. An
investigation by the local inspectors showed

Gated at the time and who paid no attention to
the bells given by the master of the vessel,
Capt Raynor, who was acquitted of all blame
in the matter. The license OF the engineer

crushed and splntered for about thirty feet

THE RUMoR is revived, aud from other
sources than Richmond, that the creditors OF
Virginia will make still further concessions
in their natural desire to effect settlement
of the debt Virginia ewes them, in order 10
obtain at least a portion, though small
one. of the money that's due them. AS has
often been said, the settlement OF the deot Is
of vastly more Importance to Virginia tnan
apy mere terms upon which that settlement
NAV be effected. For that reason, but that
only. it is hoped the rumor referred to may
be true; for if the creditors be not satisfied
with the settlement, it will not be an nom
orabIe and honest one, and the stain 1t VIII

The Charges Against MIR. Todd.

Pursuant to adjournment Saturday the
Washington Presbytery met yesterday morn
ing at the New York Avenue Presby
Church, Washington to consider the charges
made against Rev. +. NJ. Todd. Rev. DIR.
French acted as moderator.
After prayer the moderator read q letter
from Mr.. ]. Il. Hornbaker, requesting that
DIR. Fullerton or DIR. Childs take charge OF
the case for the prosecution.
DR.. Childs, as second member OF the judi.
cal committee, reported on the papers,
affidavits, maps and diagrams presented in
the case.
DR.. Childs moved that Rev. Mr.. Nourse
take charge OF the case for the complain
ants
Mr.. Nourse requested that Mr.. Horn
baker be asked whether he Mr.. Noursel
had ever given him cause to believe that
be would act as counsel for the prosecu-
ton.
This caused much discussion in which sew
eral members took part. The law on the
sui ject of appointing counsel for the prose
cution was searched for, but there was only
precedent, no law.
1t being moved that DIR. Childs act as
counsel for the compliments, DIR. Snnder-
land objected, on the ground that Mr..
Nourse had acted as such in the past if
any other was appointed tho defense would
make it ground for appeal.
Mr.. Nourse defended himself from what
he termed "the imputations of DR.. Snnder-
land" and explained his action on Satur'
dav. when he retained the original papers
in the case until the session of the Presby-
tery was almost over. The motion 10 ap

Mr.. Randall, during the two last congresses
with the aid of the solid republican vote in

there shall be no other than protective
tariff. He would, however. remove the tax

trire on that subject is that such tax
should remain, and as it is war tax, be de-
voted to the payment of pensions

To SHOW that the color line is as much
observed by colored as by white people it is
only neces ,ary to allude to the fact that
whereas there were many colored Episcopal
churches with white pastors in the South
before the war, there are now hardly any
their congregations baving abandoned them
and Joined the Baptist and Methodist
churches with pastors belonging to their
own race. The desire Of the colored people
to have colored teachers for their children
shows the same thing. Instinct keeps the
races apart, and the manifestation OF that
instinct can not DC suppressed by human en-
actments.

THE SILVER chasers Of New York, who

one of which was that they were TO disavow

during the strike they received little or no
assistance from district No. 40. The entire
loss of wages for sixteen weeks TO man

remorse must be the greater in view OF the
